Cloud.com Joins the NetApp Alliance Partner Program

Leading Open Source IaaS Platform Integrates with Leading Storage Technology to Ease Customer Pain Points in Building Shared IT Infrastructures

Cupertino, Calif. - June 28, 2011
-Cloud.com, a leader in open source cloud computing software, today
announced it has joined the NetApp® Alliance Partner Program.
As part of this collaboration, Cloud.com CloudStack™, an
innovative infrastructure as a service (IaaS) platform,
seamlessly integrates with NetApp storage systems and simplifies
how customers can build, deploy and manage public and private cloud
environments, for improved IT flexibility and efficiency.

This integration with NetApp gives Cloud.com
the ability to directly integrate with the NetApp®
OnCommand™ management software to help automate provisioning
volumes on the storage system, create Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs)
of administrator-specified sizes and perform LUN masking. Cloud.com
has also integrated, tested and validated CloudStack with NetApp
unified storage systems, allowing customers to continue to use the
NetApp Data ONTAP® platform, which effectively creates and
manages storage pools and devices requiring ever-increasing
capacity and bandwidth. Whether organizations are running private
or public clouds, the CloudStack and NetApp collaboration provides
a turnkey cloud infrastructure software stack for delivering all of
the essential components used to build, deploy and manage any cloud
environment.

"Data center infrastructure is facing a
number of challenges as enterprises increasingly move to deploying
on-premise clouds, making it even more important for leading
companies like Cloud.com and NetApp to partner," said Peder
Ulander, CMO at Cloud.com. "By leveraging NetApp OnCommand™
management software, cloud architects can empower their users with
self-service automation while improving storage and service
efficiency through functions that help users control, automate, and
analyze their secure, multi-tenant NetApp storage
infrastructure."

"The NetApp Alliance Partner Program helps
bring together solution providers that have a shared vision of
helping customers get the most business value from their IT
investments," said Patrick Rogers, vice president of Corporate
Alliances at NetApp. "Cloud.com's membership in the NetApp Alliance
Partner Program will help our customers achieve a faster
time-to-market and improve IT flexibility and efficiency by
combining leading cloud and storage infrastructure technology."

Recognizing that organizations currently face
a daunting task when trying to build their own IaaS cloud
environment, Cloud.com provides service providers with the fastest
path to delivering their own cloud services by providing the latest
and the most advanced software platform for building highly
scalable, highly reliable cloud computing environments. Cloud.com
currently enables over 50 large-scale production clouds in
deployment that have been built on its market-leading open source
cloud computing solution including KT, Tata Communications, Nokia
Research Center, GreenQloud and Profitability.net. Cloud.com
technologies can be deployed on-premise or as hosted cloud
services.
